Beneath the Sovereign Sky

By Napear on February 18, 2024 7:49 am

Ok, so more trailer music this week... I'm not super pleased with it... but I'm willing to chalk that up to working with new libraries, that I don't yet know how to bend to my will, and rushing through some of the composition work because it's for a school assignment that's due in two days, and I still have to write the paper that goes with it.  ˚‧º·(˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥)‧º·˚

Ha, exact same duration as mine this week.

Hope the school assignment went well, it does sound good to me!

ha i like the will bending idea.  Wish I had more command over my library and setup lately.  Excellent orchestration for this piece.  The epic hits set the stage nicely.  Persevering brass shines thru with the strings.  Well done and hope the classes are goin well!

Ooooh I feel those bassy womps in the centre of my skull, absolutely fantastic. Great trailer feel, it has all those wonderful distinct moments and shifts that give the goosebumps and that sense of rushing forward, really awesome.

Thanks, though I can't take much credit for the orchestration on this one... EastWest's Hollywood and Fantasy Ochestrators and associated orchestral are the tools I'm still learning.  The ensemble presets are kind of an easy button for orchestrations... though getting the most from the requires some doing.  Much to learn still... much to learn.  But was pretty proud of the horns, that's Aaron Venture Infinate Brass... which is just SOOOOOOO nice to play, so easy to get expressive performances from... and the underlying samples are VERY dry, so you can kind of mix them however you want... which I tend to prefer over samples where you can really hear the space they were recorded in... lookin' at you BBC Orchestra...

Thanks, I'm glad you like it... Those big gran cassa hits do have a very satisfying thump to them.  That's ProjectSam Pandora... straight up "Trailer Sounds in a Box", but I love it... I sneak that library into anything I can get away with including it in. 

i am in this movie today heart

haha def know what you mean with the BBC Orchestra library and yea dry samples are easier to work with so you can drench them in verb however you please smile

This is truly as epic as advertised.
